Farewell to Charlie 2006 - 2018

He was a grand cat.

I can do that too!

Sasha has to shimmy up, but she does get there!

No fair!

Piper can leap from the railing to the arch, and Sasha can't.  It's just not fair.

Today is the first anniversary of the passing away of Jack the Cat

I miss him very much.

Happy Easter!

Loot from the Puyallup Sewing Expo

I bought a couple of patterns, but mostly I bought stuff for designing on fabric.  I need to replace my very old Blue Fish t shirts, but I certainly can't afford to buy them anymore, so I'm going to make some of my own.

I did buy an anorak pattern and hardware to make it up.  I've been looking for one for a long time, and think this one will be perfect.

The highlight of the show, for me, was Louise Cutting's style show (and my apologies to her partner whose name I do not know).  Beautiful styles, clever use of fabrics, and lots of Louise green, which I love.

And one last treat -- a pretty necklace of paper beads.

A neighborhood scandal and a trip to the ocean

I have finally spotted the putative father of Vaermina's ill-begotten kittens, François LeFlaneur!  The shameless seducer!

And last week we went to Ocean Shores with Pam and Hal.  Perfect weather, perfect friends, perfect food!

Visitors!

Vaermina brought her kittens to visit us today!  Pip and Pocket came up on the porch, but Namira was too shy.

Here's Vaermina in the flower pot, Pip on the deck, and Pocket under the grill.

Pip and Pocket  Sis says these two are a gang, and look like troublemakers.  I agree!
